Write about something useful that you would share to your friends yourself.

Blog a lot and make every post revolve around a keyword.

Then at least go to pingler.com after every post and ping the blog.

Also...

Go to kping.com after every post and let the blog directories know you have a new post.

Like TL said.
Also don't be surprised if you don't get any comments or only a few.
From my experiences it seems most people will just read and leave.

By the way my original answer was going to be by bus

  If you have a subscriber list, let them know about your blog updates, and ask them to post their opinion/comments and tell a friend. It works!

I would say the above post is really good idea. I also have a blog that gets a reasonable ammount of traffic but very few comments. I find that quite frustrating at times.
I am going to do what myob suggests, don't know why I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks

there are blog swap / resource type sites such as entrecard.com and cmfads.com , it's been ages since i visited those sites but they should still exist.
